Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
I’ve been using “Cursor on Windows” since early Feb. It crashes more than 50% of the time when doing anything on my box (powershell and/or cmd.exe and/or wsl) - I use 3 different PC’s (Windows 10N laptop, Windows 11home laptop, Windows 11Pro desktop in a VM) and it “reliably” locks up when doing anything on all those machines. I just assumed this would get fixed at some point, but never seems to?
Steps to Reproduce
Get Claude to run any commands on a windows host.
Expected Behavior
I would expect the command to run, and show me the output properly.
What really happens, is it sometimes (usually) runs the commands, always (without fail) screws up showing me the output (all kinds of weird stuff and blank lines and ^C^C^C etc shows at the end every time), and more than 50% of the time it locks up forever at this point.
Operating System
Windows 10/11

Additional Information
I am interested to learn if other people have this problem as well - is this a known issue, or have I somehow fluked 3 different machines all with some local problems causing this?
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
